Xun Trigram Phoenix System TheoryThe Xun Trigram is symbolic of wind. In martial arts, it is the Windmill Palm. Xun is entering. Xun obtains the beginning of Yin from Kun, which signifies concealed entering, and occupies southeast, the position of abundant Yang. As to objects, it is the form of the Phoenix, the elder of all birds, having the ability to extend its wings. As applied in martial arts, it has the form of nodding the head and the ability to trap under the arm. It also has the form of the lion rolling the ball. The martial form is called the Windmill palm. It is strong above, while smooth below, having the form of a windmill; this is taken from the Xun Trigram.
